About this map

Cebolla and Canjilon anchor this portion of Rio Arriba County, where the high desert terrain of northern New Mexico meets the managed timberlands of the Carson National Forest. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including the Rio Cebolla and Rio Nutrias, which have historically supported ranching and small-scale agriculture in the region. Evidence of local land use is visible at the Cebolla Corral and the Duke Pit, while the presence of numerous water sources like Turkey Spring and Branco Tank highlights the importance of water management in this arid environment.

Outdoor recreation and higher-elevation hydrology are centered around the Trout Lakes and the accompanying Trout Lakes Campground in the northeastern quadrant. The varied topography includes prominent landmarks like Red Hill and the Rincon Blanco, connected by a network of rural routes such as Co Road 317 and Co Road 301. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the traditional village layouts and seasonal water features that characterize the eastern edge of the Colorado Plateau.
